Bahrain will be locking horns against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the 18th match of the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023. The Mulpani Cricket Ground in Kathmandu will be hosting this Group B clash.
Bahrain got off to a brilliant start to the competition. They beat Singapore in their opening game but failed to carry forward the winning momentum as they lost to Kuwait in their next game. They didn’t have any chance to get back to winning ways as their next game was washed out due to rain.
Bahrain were scheduled to face Hong Kong in the 13th match of the competition but rain played a spoilsport as the game was called off without toss. They now will be hoping that the rain stays away and they get a chance to grab their second win of the tournament.
United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, beat Kuwait in their opening game but lost to Hong Kong in their next game. They defeated Singapore comprehensively in their last outing and will look to repeat their performance on Wednesday.
